love local food

You guys know that I’m a big fan of all things local. You know mr. foodie and I are huge fans of Chef Tim Grandinetti and of North Carolina Wineries.

I’m so excited to tell you that Chef and Sander’s Ridge Winery have just announced a partnership. When Hearth closed at Sander’s Ridge and then later Sourwood, I was a bit worried about what might happen to that gorgeous restaurant that sits on the property of Sander’s Ridge Winery but we did a little digging and encouraged a few conversations. And then this happened!

That is so exciting. I knew they’d been talking and that Cindy Shore was super stoked about the possibility of a partnership. And we know Tim Grandinetti can make magic happen. Here are some details from Sander’s Ridge.

Jasper’s Restaurant will feature Farmstead Cooking; a way of life that has been handed down from generation to generation, rich in both history and flavor! The creatively curated menu will include quintessential Southern breakfast and brunch dishes, Chef-crafted sandwiches, seasonally-inspired salads featuring deliciousness from Sanders Ridge organic gardens and olde-world, farmstead inspired dinner plates.

“This is delicious, old-school Farmstead Cooking!” said Chef Timothy Grandinetti, who recently launched a series of Soulful Harvest cooking classes and dinners based on his newly published cookbook, Soulful Harvest: Signature Recipes, Timeless Techniques & Culinary Reflections. “Cooking from the soul for the soul… At Jasper’s | Southern Farmstead Restaurant you can “hear” the crackling of perfectly cooked fried chicken; you can “smell” the buttery biscuits finishing in the ovens and you can “see” the pie filling as it sweetly bubbles beneath a flaky crust…”
